The above photo is where I was three weeks ago. The below photo is where I am now. I moved the frame slightly but I have finished his whole leg and shoe, I've also added quite a bit to her dress. I had a semi-successful trip to Hobbycraft on Friday to buy the threads I'm running out of to complete the background. The codes were for DMC threads, except 210 and 211 which were a completely different shade! I did my best there, matching up 210 almost exactly and not worrying about 211.
I'm enjoying stitching her dress, but I'm wondering if I should go back and finish off that boring background first. When I've finished the figures, there's a big of "floor" at the bottom which will be boring too, so maybe I shouldn't get the most interesting bit done first? But then, when did I ever have willpower?
In case you've forgotten, I'm stitching this as part of a three-weekly SAL, aiming to get us finishing our pieces, either new pieces or WIPs.

well done.
I'd be tempted to do the interesting bits first and save the background for last ^^
Maybe you could do bits of background and bits of the dancers alternately?
This is a fantastic embroidery! Don´t worry about different colours in the threads. I think it will add even more life into the embroidery!
You've done a lot, and it's looking great!

You have so much patience. This just keeps looking better and better :-)
Wonderful stitching
Willpower? What is this thing you call ... willpower? It's not in my vocabulary, that's for sure, lol! Your cross-stitch project is waltzing along nicely (yeah, I'm slapping myself for that bad pun) :D You sure do have fun classes in your area - you get to try all kinds of fun things!
that sounds like a good week off. Great to see the progress on this one
This is looking great, I think I'd need to ration the interesting stitching with the more monotonous background otherwise I'd loose the will to live!!

This is going to be stunning. It's coming on beautifully :)
Beautiful progress! It's looking great :D
Love this piece. You're motivating me to get started on a large cross stitch project I have, sitting in the wings.
